London appeared in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Impossible Marriage and may be seen in the film version of Rent. Lynch stars on the TV series Close to Home. Marsh’s credits include the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Rogers has appeared on the New York stage in such shows as Holiday, The Dazzle, and Bach at Leipzig.
